By default, Safari “times-out” after 60 seconds if a web page doesn’t load. This rarely happens to me anywhere but this while using this board. On most occasions I just throw in the towel and come back later. But sometimes I really, really want to read or reply to a thread.
I can’t find anything in the Safari preferences to allow more time. As it stands, I have to click off the “timed-out” announcement window and click the link again. It’s rather annoying.
It probably doesn’t matter, but G4 Powerbook/OS X 10.2.8.
I’ll confirm the 60 second timeouts on Safari. It’s a Safari thing; not an HTTP or server thing (well, the server’s not responding, so in a way…). Anyway, it happens to me usually on the SDMB and on sites that’ve been /.'d.
I really wish that the warning weren’t a dialogue box, but an in-browser message. Having to hit return or press okay is just plain annoying.
Anyone know how to make Safari work with more than four network connections? For example, if I have four pages waiting for a server response, the fifth page won’t queue or try to make a connection, and I can’t download more. And of course, I can’t get more than four downloads. And if I have four downloads, I can’t open any other pages.
Despite this, Safari’s still my browser of choice at home (Mozilla at work on Win2K).
